Hey guys, I was looking for your opinions on Red-Wash Bettas.
I can't decide myself if I like them, so I was wondering what other people thought of them..
I have created a poll, so please vote and comment based on your opinions.

What exactly do you mean by read wash??

 

[iBetta]

There are heaps of photos on the internet of red wash bettas.
Im talking about the colour betta, white with small amounts of red on it.

 

[sausagewinkle]

Marbled??

Or opaque/white with a red 'sheen' ??

Both I just seen on google

I would class them as marbles, but thats just me.

As with all bettas I think they are lovely, i have a soft spot for marbles especially as they change so much

 

[iBetta]

Yeah I think marbles are gorgeous!
The reason for me asking other people's opinions is because I plan on breeding my red Delta Tail male with hopefully a white female, and I was told I could end up with a few of these red-wash/marble bettas, and when it came time to sell I was just wondering if they would be popular with the buyers

 

[sausagewinkle]

As red is a dominant gene then yes you sure would

I think any colour betta seems popular with buyers

 

[iBetta]

Yes that's true! All bettas are beautiful after all ..hence the reason we buy one and end buying more and more

I heard about the red gene being dominant, but I didn't want to pair him with a full red female, because I was hoping to end up with some interesting coloured babies

you gotta think that they may have hundreds of eggs not all of them will be red its physicly impossible although the red is dominant blacks and very dark blues are more dominante like with our eyes the brown irises are the most dominant colour

with my mum n dad

mum has brown eyes dad has blue me and my brother and sister all have brown eyes

but not all of thoses baby fry would have pure red its impossible

I think all bettas are gorgeous. You wont ever find two that are exactly the same. Makes them all awesome in my eyes.

Me too...for some reason I don't prefer paler bettas. If it was more red than white, like say a koi, I think that would be beautiful though.

 

[Fishy friend2]

yeah i agree
